P retty thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Orchid Oasis Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Starry Sky Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of light brown plaid design from Perennial Lavender 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 1-1/8" x 3-7/8" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 1" x 4-1/4" from Shaded Spruce Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" from Shaded Spruce Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 3/4" x 4-1/2" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
Mount the "I can't thank you enough," "you mean the world to me," "sending love and best wishes," or "you're simply marvelous" sentiment from the Perennial Lavender Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Starry Sky Ink Pad. Stamp it on the right side of the horizontal 1-1/8" x 3-7/8" vanilla strip.
Pick out the long, skinny, scallop edge die from the Zany Zoo Dies. Put it on top of the thin strip of Shaded Spruce on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is close to one long edge. Run through the machine.
Adhere the scalloped Shaded Spruce rectangle to the bottom of the stamped sentiment vanilla strip so the scallops just show along the bottom edge.
Adhere the matted sentiment strip to the bottom of the vertical, plaid Perennial Lavender Designer Paper rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the bottom.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess cardstock on the left and right edges of the designer paper.
Adhere the designer paper with sentiment attached to the center of the Starry Sky rectangle and then to the front of the Orchid Oasis card.
Pick out the large stems and leaves die from the Painted Lavender Dies. Put it on top of the Shaded Spruce rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed.
Pick out the set of two tall, thin lavender stems die from the Painted Lavender Dies. Put it on top of one of the skinny vanilla rectangles on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Repeat with the other vanilla rectangle.
Place three of the tall, thin lavender stem cut outs on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Use the Starry Sky Stampin' Write Marker to dot some dark purple randomly on to the flowers of the cut outs.
Use the Orchid Oasis Stampin' Write Marker to color in the rest of the flowers on the cut outs.
Use the Shaded Spruce Stampin' Write Marker to color in the stems of the cut outs.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the three colored stems cut outs and the leafy stem cut out to the front of the card so they cross each other at the stems on the left side of the sentiment strip as shown.
Cut a 16" piece of the Orchid Oasis 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon.
Fold the ribbon in half. Tie a small bow in the center of the folded ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon bow at a slight angle to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the ends of the lavender stems.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 large Gorgeous Grape gems from the sheet of Purple Fine Shimmer Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown in a straight line down in the upper right corner.
